Because I break down the costs for both into my holding period.

Thank you very much, will give it a look!

Stability of value was also one of the reasons why the R8 was chosen. My thought was that I could drive it for 1.5-2 years for under 1k/month and then, if an interesting variant of the Emira pops up, the change wouldn't be a big hurdle. Yes, the infotainment is really the Achilles heel, but to...

I'm out for now. After I finally had the chance to test drive an i4 a few months ago, I realized that the V6 was the more suitable engine (for me). Unfortunately, my dealer couldn't find one for me and I couldn't find one online either. But as summer is just around the corner and I really...

Really impressive! Thank you very much, I think I will do the same or at least try it as soon as I finally have my Emira. I'll write you a DM!

Of course they are not. Hey, Thanks a lot! It's really impressive that you did this on your own. I'm also very interested in implementing this, but unfortunately I'm blessed with two left hands and little patience. Did you need any special tools (apart from the 3d printer)? Did you...

There is just no sound dendening at all. Here in the Forum is a Vid about upgrading the KEF-system and the guys have to install a good isolation first too.

Could you please link to some of the articles regarding the reliability of the M139? I find rather mixed statements about undersized pumps and that little can be said about longevity due to the short production time so far.

That's marvellous! I'm very interested in improving the audio quality but think insulation is the first step. It would be nice if they would set up a wiki for the topic, as I can imagine that many people feel the same way.

Hey, can you please post the whole image?

Thank you very much. Is the 500nm for the engine itself or for the clutch?

Finally a good topic again. I originally decided in favour of the i4, but the long waiting time and the now extensive range of tuning parts for the V6 make me doubt my decision. In the event that the i4 doesn't appeal to me after the test drive, my list of options is as follows: - Aerie...

On List since Feb 2022. Even havn't got a call or something.

I'll add my name to the thread. I was originally excited by the idea of the I4, but the "tuning" on the part of Lotus makes the V6 seem increasingly attractive. Now I'm asking myself whether the loss in value between the manual and the automatic is really as great as is always claimed here...

Hi together, As the title suggests, I was wondering if there is any information about what is coming to the Emira after the Base Edition. The background is that I've been waiting 18 months for my i4 but have come to the conclusion that I'll probably be happier with a manual gearbox and would...

Thank you very much.

Does anyone have any figures on the percentage of i4, v6 manual and v6 automatics ordered so far?

Without wanting to snitch here, I spoke to someone from my regional office a few weeks ago. He told me that at that time about 20% of the vehicles they delivered were back in the workshop at some time. Almost all of the problems, however, were due to software and that their hands were therefore...

When I made the down payment, the salesman said that the i4 variant would cost under 90k swiss francs. According to the website, it is now 103k.

Zinc looks awesome. Only color i would specc with black pack.

When I ordered my i4, ADAS was supposed to be included. Unfortunately, I can't find the interview with Windle right now. It's been 20 months since I made my deposit for it and if Lotus now delivers without ADAS, I feel it's another hidden price increase.

The Firewall is a joke and there is plenty of content from china to find at YT.

Is this an out-of-season first aprils joke?

Yeah sure, i will post any update i get.

Just called my dealer in St. Gallen and he told me, my reservation for the i4 is still valid and the exact price will be communicated within the next two weeks.

I am in a similar boat. My dealer here in Switzerland has told me but already during the test drive with the V6 something 7 weeks ago. But he did not know at that time whether the deposit will be returned or whether Lotus considers this as a credit. But he told me then that the order of the...

A45s for refference

Check this out to get an idea of the i4 sound:

M139 as a midengine.

2009 TT, can take a picture later if you want to see it. EDIT: Okay ... I have to apologize. It does not look better but felt it looked like new until 120k.

Bro, my car does not look this bad at 200000km.

Is the price rise the same for v6 and i4?

True. My dealer is ghosting me for months now and isn't even calling back if i leave him a voice.

I'm afraid we can all just guess here. I don't get any more info from my dealer, but when I ordered the i4 it was "q4 of this year" and then later it was always postponed by two quarters. Personally I don't expect it to be delivered before q2 24.

Isn't it contradictory to drive gently for the first 1000 kilometres and then not change the oil?

I'm still interested, even though my seller is ghosting me. However, I'm currently considering whether it's wise to buy a car that was produced during the current global supply crisis. In many areas I have insight into, alternatives for unavailable materials are being more or less tested on the...
